News Release

WARSAW — The Public Works Department of the City of Warsaw, along with Borden Waste-Away Services/Integra and Waste Management, is pleased to offer expanded services to the residents of Warsaw in celebration of Earth Week.

The following services will be made available to residents Monday, April 21, through Friday, April 25.

Loose Leaf Pickup: Large piles of leaves can be raked to the curb or alley. They will be
picked up on your regular trash day and need to be out by 7 a.m. Please do not put
sticks or other trash in the leaf piles. Small piles will need to be bagged or boxed and
will be picked up on your regular trash day. As a reminder, leaves cannot be raked into the streets and gutter lines. This clogs the stormwater catch basins and creates drainage issues that can lead to flooding.

Large-item drop-off: Waste Management has offered to place four thirty-yard containers at their local transfer station. Residents (IDs will be checked to verify addresses) can drop off items at no charge, but that does not include truck loads from rental property cleanouts. Waste Management will donate the dumping fees and is excited to offer residents assistance in disposing of their spring cleaning items. This service will be free of charge to the residents residing within the Corporate City Limits of Warsaw.

Waste Management’s transfer station is at 2352 N. Boeing Road, Warsaw. Hours are 6 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Borden Waste Away/Integra Shredding will host a community shred drive day. This will be a “drive-through” service from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Tuesday, April 22. Integra will have a shred truck at the Public Works Department, 794 W, Center St. City employees will load your papers in totes and Integra will shred the documents on the spot.

Paper Lawn & Leaf Bags: Paper lawn and leaf bags will be available for City residents for
pick up at the Public Works Department at 794 W. Center St. Residents (IDs will be checked to verify addresses) are invited to pick up six (6) bundles of paper lawn and leaf bags for natural debris pickup. Hours for distribution will be regular business hours. Which are 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday–Friday.

Earth Week in 2025 runs from April 16 to 22. Earth Day itself, the main event of the week, is on April 22.
